(Required)
No, I want to lease the premises
Yes, I would consider buying the land and buildings as well as the business
Yes, I want to buy the land and buildings as well as the business, this is essential

Relying completely on bank finance
A mix of cash and vendor finance
Not sure yet
Vendor finance means the seller is paid part of the price over an agreed period after settlement.

(Required)
Any
Ready now, I want to buy immediately
Within 3 months
3 to 6 months
6 to 12 months

We match this against how soon each owner wants to exit, which also tells us where a handover period or a staged settlement could work.

(Required)
Any
Fully Managed by Staff and Systems
Semi-managed by Staff with some Owner Involvement
Owner Managed with Some Staff Involvement
